वाशिंगटन सुंदर की जगह किसे मिलेगा मौका: न्यूजीलैंड के खिलाफ लगातार 8वीं घरेलू सीरीज जीत सकता है भारत, दूसरा वनडे आज

The second match of the three-match ODI series between India and New Zealand will be played today at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. The match will start at 1:30 PM and the toss will take place at 1:00 PM.

Team India is 1-0 ahead in the series with the win in the first ODI. If India wins the second match today, it will also win the series. So far 7 ODI series have been played between India and New Zealand on Indian soil. All 7 series have been won by the Indian team. In this way, India has a chance to win the eighth consecutive home ODI series against the Kiwis.

Washington Sundar, who was injured in the first match, is out of the series. In such a situation, a change in the playing XI is certain today. If the team management retains the playing combination of the first ODI, then young all-rounder Ayush Badoni may get a chance to debut in International ODI. At the same time, if the team wants to go with an additional fast bowler for balance, then all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy is also likely to be included in the playing XI.

New Zealand’s weakest ODI performance in India India defeated New Zealand by 4 wickets in the first match of the series. So far 121 ODIs have been played between the two teams. India won in 63 and New Zealand won in 50. 7 remained inconclusive, while in 2014 one match was also tied.

New Zealand has the worst record among foreign teams that have played at least 20 ODI matches in India. New Zealand has so far won only 8 out of 41 ODI matches in India, while it has lost 32 matches. While one match also remained inconclusive.

Virat scored 93 runs in the first match In the first match, Virat Kohli did not score a century but played an innings of 93 runs. Kohli is the top scorer in the series. Last year too, Kohli was the highest scorer for the team with 651 runs. Whereas, in the first match, Mohammad Siraj performed well in bowling and took 2 wickets.

Jamieson took 4 wickets in the last match Daryl Mitchell scored the highest score of 84 runs for New Zealand in the first match of this series. However, he could not succeed in making the team win. Whereas, Kyle Jamieson took 4 wickets in bowling. Jamieson is the top wicket taker of the series.

India’s record bad in Rajkot The pitch of Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot is considered helpful for the batsmen, although the bowlers also get some opportunities. India’s record in ODIs on this ground has not been good.

India has played 4 ODI matches here so far, out of which it has faced defeat in 3. The last ODI match on this ground was played against Australia in 2023, in which India lost by 66 runs. All four ODI matches played here so far have been won by the team batting first.

Rajkot weather will be clear There is no possibility of rain in Rajkot on the match day. There will be sunshine during the day, due to which there will be no problem of any kind in the match. The temperature will be between 13 to 28 degrees Celsius. There will not be so much dew in Rajkot that there will be difficulty in catching the ball, but due to the cold weather the pitch may be a little fast.

Possible playing-11 of both the teams India: Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy/Ayush Badoni, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh.
